Hello everyone!
I recently just restarted studying for the LSAT and I am looking to form a study group that meets a few times a week, Monday-Thursday. I am quite open to different studying times, although my preference is for afternoon (2-5pm). Mornings work for me as well.
The purpose of this study group is to hold each other accountable. We would each use the time to study whatever we'd like as opposed to discussing questions and LSAT topics. If you are interested, please let me know!
Thanks,
Matthew

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that Friday Zoom Link is separate than Monday-Thursday's.
Friday's Zoom Link is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82350409168?pwd=OE1LTFNTTXV6Q1BCVzc5T0Zjb3NMdz09
Monday-Thursday Zoom Link is: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/73042398721?pwd=VmJjNmMyWTh5TlJDMUR2WTlsN0FGQT09
Hey everyone! Just a reminder that tomorrow is Friday, so our session will be from 1-4PM EST.
Also, we will not be having sessions on Monday and Tuesday (January 3rd and January 4th) of next week. Sessions will resume on Wednesday, January 5th.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2022 is a great year for all of you.
Best,
Matthew
UPDATE: It was great meeting you all today! It was a highly productive study session, with us spending 2.5 hours studying and the 30 minutes break time total as planned. Many of you have already committed to doing this daily (Monday-Thursday 2-5PM EST) which I am super excited about! We will also have meetings every Friday (1-4PM EST).
For those who are new and would like to join, just shoot me a direct message and I will see if there is space for you.
I have created a recurring zoom meeting link so that each time the session starts we can keep using the same link every session, as opposed to needing a unique link for each meeting.
Here is the recurring meeting link for Monday-Thursdays 2-5PM EST:
Join Zoom Meeting

Passcode: nLrD1E
Note, I have also made a recurring meeting link for Fridays, 1:00-4:00pm EST:

Our Monday-Thursday Sessions will look like this:
2:00-2:15pm: Break/Talking time.
2:15:-3:45pm: Study time.
3:45-4:00pm: Break/Talking Time
4:00-5:00pm: Study time.
Our Friday Sessions will look like this:
1:00-1:15pm: Break/Talking Time
1:15-2:45pm: Study Time.
2:45-3:00pm: Break/Talking Time.
3:00-4:00pm: Study time.
Note: A couple of you have suggested a few ways of improving accountability. As discussed, keeping our cameras on is very helpful for this. You don't have to do this, but if one of us sees someone away from their screen we can help keep each other in check that way by sending that person a message asking where they went/are. This way when they come back, they will be reminded to work.
Sharing our screens is probably the best way of doing this, so we know that each of us are not procrastinating. I highly recommend this option. None of these options are required, but they are great ways of improving accountability. That being said, some of us (myself included) are doing a good job studying just knowing there are other people online studying with us, and may not feel the need for these other options. So do as you wish!
Looking forward to our next session and as always, don't hesitate to post here any questions or feedback.
Good luck everyone!
Matthew
I am interested as well. However, if anyone is available after 5p.m. that would be wonderful!
@aliceshang153 No problem. Sounds good and best of luck!
@laurenjimenez09138-9, it is ok. No worries! Thank you for your reply. I will reach out to you if I want to set up one-on-one study! However, right now I am still in the CC. :(
Important Update:
Hello everyone! Due to low attendance, and dropping demand I will no longer be hosting the group study sessions. However, if any of you want to set up a time to go over something or to hold each other accountable while we study as we normally do (be it in a group session or just one-on-one) , I'm definitely down. Feel free to reach out to me directly. Best of luck on all your studies. It was truly great meeting you all. Let's stay in touch!
Best,
Matthew

Hey all! I hope you had a wonderful week! I just wanted to inform you that we will not be having a session today. Our sessions will resume regular time on Monday, February 7, at 2pm EST!
@sangagul1234ah125 Hello Gul! Yes you may! We are on now from 2-5pm EST! Here is the link: https://us04web.zoom.us/s/73042398721?pwd=VmJjNmMyWTh5TlJDMUR2WTlsN0FGQT09#success
Hello I'm interested. Can I still join? Do I just have to come to the meeting to join or is there anything else I have to do?
I do want to let you know that I won't be joining these session for two weeks until February. MY work schedule is changing in February so I can join then.
@suzanner81394664 Hello! Yes you may! We are on tomorrow (Thursday) from 2-5pm EST! Here is the link: https://us04web.zoom.us/s/73042398721?pwd=VmJjNmMyWTh5TlJDMUR2WTlsN0FGQT09#success
Hi everyone! Could I join tomorrow? I’m taking the test next month
Hello everyone! We are on right now until 5pm EST! Also, we still have more room for people if anyone is still looking to join!
FYI Everyone: The feedback for this session has been fantastic! It seems like the idea of accountability and knowing other people are studying at the same time as you works for a lot of people!
I've asked around and it seems like most people would like a separate session (In addition to the ones we already have) to work together. This way, we have one study session for accountability and doing our own thing, and another study session for test taking strategies and working together.
So if you would like to a set up a separate session to study together and focus on strategies (And work on PT/Sections, etc) free to post here in the discussion group the times you are free for that and what you would like to work on!
Best,
Matthew
Reminder: Our next session is Monday, 1/10 at 2PM EST!
